I was sitting here thinking life has a funny way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect it. Having to deal with something we never expected or planned on can turn what was once a normal day into what seems like utter chaos! Talk about stress a person out!
I have had my share of those days over the years, as I am sure many people have. Each time I had to deal with the situation with the knowledge and the skills I had at the time. Often not handling some situations very well,I fully admitt. Thankfully, one of the joys of learning is with each experience our "curve ball tool kit" expands and gets deeper , we have more information and knowledge in which to draw from! How cool is that!
I remember the first time I brought my son home from the hospital, as a first time mom I was so scared because It felt as if didn't have a clue what I was doing. What did I really know about raising this little person? 17 years later that little baby is now a handsome young man who inspires me and teaches me every day. Somehow we both survived!
I now watch new mom's with their first borns and I can relate to the fear and the excitement in their eyes! They too are starting to build their tool kit which will be rich with knowledge 17 years from now!
Part of that tool kit is having a support network . Thanks to the information highway we now have access to such inspiring people who share their passion and stories with others in hopes of sharing their knowledge and experience. If you keep an open mind there is always something you can learn from everyone..who couldn't use a new tool to add to their collection?!
Nick Vujicic is one individual who shares his passion with people around the world. His story is truly amazing. http://wimp.com/watchingthis/
When life throws a curve ball we always have a choice and Nick's story is just one of many that helps people to remember ...never give up..no matter how bad a situation seems to be there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
Keep building your tool kit! xox
